okay so basically only had time to test the FC and add bleach, 2 days ago I vaccumed to waste all the stuff on the bottom, took out 3 inches of water out of the pool, the pump was sucking a little air, but i think it helped when i backwashed my sand filter, i have NEVER seen the glass get that...

depends, if it was a protected turtle you can not do anything about it really, even moving it may have been a crime. if it is and you find eggs you can the state conservation and they may come get them. if is it just s regular turtal it will mostlikey find its way back all you can do is move...

if you can find the yellow "pool shock" its 10% bleach, sometime it comes on sale for 4 for $7.50 in my area !! just be sure to adjust the calc to 10% before you add bleach or you will add way to much lol sometime walmart puts the walmart brand 8.25% on sale for $1 gallon (121oz) i buy like...

hello I have a couple thread this year, I though my SLAM was going well but im stuck FC = 13.2 TC = 16.3 CC = 2.8 TA = 149 CH = 182 CYA = 18 PH = 7.3 now im at shock level already do i just wait this out?

i should note my pool is indoor and levels are much more stable

an eye dropper can really help to get the right levels in the test tube viales just be sure to rise it out when done like the rest of the stuff I try not to put anything in my pool but bleach these days this year i had to add a few thing here and there

this morning i glanced at it, much clearer! after that shock last night. I work from 10-10 yesterday, I read soda and dumped in baking then notice it said washing..... lol I'll pick up some borax at WM on the way home so far the color Q has been great and repeatable, the tab are vac sealed and...

THanks that makes sense, I did add CYA I may add a bit more if my level stays the same tommorow fc=6.46 (added bleach for shock of 13-14) falling from last test (8 .xx) cc=.72 - falling from last test (3.xx) ph=7.1 (baking soda should help a little, if TA goes back to 100 i'll air it out again...

i test once a week once the pool is balance, once a month i would run down the tests just to make sure, but what i see is if there is problem with the water then the water is usefully not clear. I found a electronic PH test on amazon for tests (just hold it in pool and hit the button) if number...

thanks, the pool was full of Algee when i opened it pool was inactive for over a year. I'm still trying to shock the monkeys out of it, but my FC is like 8 and my CC is like 3 I guess i need to add more bleach but my new heater says not to go over 5ppm so I'm kinda stuck ???? I will flood my...

Just to update: I put a heat pump in, I used a dog tunnel to direct the air away from the heat pump about 20 feet, when the heater is not running the room gets hot and humid when the heater kicks on it makes the room cooler and less humid, I have plans to put this into a vent system that's in...

hello we bought the house with this in-ground indoor pool (details in sig), it has a large sand filter, and frankly since it's in the room with the Well stuff/sofener and HVAC for the house the room is crowded this year i cannot get my pool to clear up, when i vacuumed the dirt just came...

gas is out, house is 100% electric and on a slab so would have to dig up concrete, the house has a geothermal system, It is even able to heat water for hot water in the summer, I wish i could tap into this for the summer because it would help keep my loops cooler. can't put the pump outside...

what are my other option other than expensive electrical resistance? the last time it cost $900 to heat my pool from 54 to 88, and it took 4 days

this will only be used for the pool as our Hot water heaters are to far away from the area and we do not have a basement to easily run lines, so ecah hot water heater would need its own system. will check out provided link

updated location updated, the roof over the pool faces south, and i our only south facing roof, there are 9 sky lights in the way so space is limited and the panels will have to go on the very top, 30 feet is a long way to pump water. also i just wanted to keep the pool water in the pool...

Hello our pools electric resistance heater has gone out and it is very expensive to run. I have been looking at Heat pumps, but then I realized the air flow could be a big deal with those, the room the pool is in is 20x40 with a sloping roof from 29 feet to 8 feet. the pool pump is in a...
